Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device and a method for constructing a layer body from a plurality of superimposed layers of free-flowing material.
  • particulate material on a build platform within a build space, the layers being solidified and joined together in locally predetermined areas by the action of a tender so that at least one molding is formed fey the solidified and joined areas of the layers
  • the device comprising a discharging device which is movable back and forth over the build space in at least one discharge direction and which has at least one discharge opening from which the free-flowing material is dischargeable in individual superimposed layers during the movement of the discharging device, according to the definition of the species in the alternative independent Patent Claims 1 and 12 .
  • a computer-controlled method for producing three-dimensional moldings is described in EP 0 431 924 B1.
  • Free-flowing particulate material is applied in a thin layer to a build space which is surrounded, as appropriate, by container walls and applied to a build platform, and a binder is selectively printed thereon, using a print head, according to computer data.
  • the particle area onto which the binder is printed sticks together and solidifies under the influence of the binder and, if necessary, an additional hardener.
  • the build platform is then lowered by a distance of one layer thickness into a build cylinder and provided with a new layer of particulate material, which is also printed as described above.
  • the molding produced from solidified particulate material is embedded in loose particulate material and is subsequently removed therefrom. This is done, for example, using an extractor. This leaves the desired molding from which the remaining adhering particles are removed, for example by brushing.
  • powder-supported rapid prototyping processes work in an identical or similar manner, for example, selective laser sintering or electron beam sintering, in which a loose particulate material is also applied in layers and selectively solidified with the aid of a controlled physical radiation source.
  • selective laser sintering or electron beam sintering in which a loose particulate material is also applied in layers and selectively solidified with the aid of a controlled physical radiation source.
  • the aforementioned method is summarized under the term, “three-dimensional printing” or “3D printing.”
  • a build container or build cylinder having a build platform which may be lowered vertically into the build container requires a high degree of technical complexity for sealing the build container wall against the build platform to prevent uncontrolled outflow of the particulate material through the gap between the build platform and the build container wall.
  • Another disadvantage of a lowerable build platform is the constantly increasing weight to be moved on the build platform as the building process progresses. In particular during application of another layer, it may be necessary to lower the build platform by a distance of more than one layer thickness and then to raise it again to the dimension required in order to adjust the layer thickness with sufficient accuracy.
  • EP 1 872 928 A1 proposes to raise the discharging device and the print head relative to the build platform instead of lowering the build platform relative to the discharging device and print head for building larger three-dimensional moldings as the layering process progresses.
  • This publication furthermore proposes to construct solid walls made of particulate material by solidifying the edge areas of the applied particulate material and by forming, from these walls, a build space-delimiting build container in whose inner chamber moldings of a selective size and shape may be constructed. It is alternatively proposed to construct moldings on the build space in a free-standing manner without using a build container for encompassing and supporting previously applied layers.
  • the discharging device is designed as a dosing device which may undergo controlled activation and deactivation for the controlled output of a predetermined, preferably constant, linear volume flow of particulate material per length unit and per time unit, so that particulate material is not unnecessarily strewn around the molding to be built or is not “emptied” prematurely and thus does not lose its function while the layer is being deposited.
  • a dosing device which may undergo controlled activation and deactivation for the controlled output of a predetermined, preferably constant, linear volume flow of particulate material per length unit and per time unit, so that particulate material is not unnecessarily strewn around the molding to be built or is not “emptied” prematurely and thus does not lose its function while the layer is being deposited.
  • dosing-controlled and “intelligent” discharging devices have a relatively complex structure and are correspondingly expensive.
  • Unintelligent discharging devices of a simpler design are unable to selectively dose particulate material or are not switchable.
  • they include a scraper moving in the discharge direction or a counter-rotating roller or an oscillating blade.
  • Design shapes may guide a quantity of material in two directions around the surface to be coated.
  • These include discharging devices which comprise a simple, elongated hopper which has a slot on the underside as the discharge opening for discharging particulate material.
  • at least one of the two hopper walls is replaced by a counter-rotating roller.
  • the discharging device In order for the process to progress as described, the discharging device must pass completely over the area to be coated.
  • a discharging device according to the aforementioned, simple and “unintelligent” design loses a remaining quantity of material in front of the discharging device in the discharge direction once the edge of the build space has been reached. This quantity of material would then be unavailable for the remaining building process. Nevertheless, it would be desirable to return this lost material to the discharging device for further layering.
  • the discharging device carries along a predetermined material quantity which is sufficient for coating the desired surface without producing too many waste particles after passing over the edge of the build space.
  • the quantity must be very precisely determined to avoid too small a dosing in each cases, which would result in insufficient layering.
  • the continuous decrease in the quantity of material in the discharging device during travel has proven to be another disadvantage of this method, resulting in an unsteady coating process. This may cause the feedstock density to be greater at the beginning of discharging device travel than at the end of the travel, due to the greater weight of the material, when a residual amount is left over in the discharging device.
  • the object of the invention is to refine a method and a device of the aforementioned type in such a way that a variable and coating material-saving adjustment of the build space size is possible while simultaneously maintaining high coating quality, despite a simple and cost-effective design of the discharging device.
  • the invention is based on the idea that no free-flowing material or particulate material may flow out or be discharged through the discharge opening of a non-switchable discharging device, i.e., an “unintelligent” discharging device which has no way to turn the material flow through the discharge opening on and off, when the discharge opening is closed by a body which is located on an appropriate level and over which the discharging device passes.
  • a non-switchable discharging device i.e., an “unintelligent” discharging device which has no way to turn the material flow through the discharge opening on and off, when the discharge opening is closed by a body which is located on an appropriate level and over which the discharging device passes.
  • a body of this type then simulates an already discharged layer of free-flowing material, which prevents further discharge of material when this layer reaches the same level as the discharge opening of the discharging device. In this case, after all, the discharge opening has already been closed by the already discharged layer.
  • the size of the build space may be easily limited by the body without requiring a build container which is laboriously adjusted to the particular size of the build space.
  • the body is designed in such a way that it does not close the discharge opening but instead has means such as an opening to be controllably opened or closed, for example, for the purpose of discharging or conducting free-flowing material that is not used for layering from the discharge opening into a collecting container, so that it may be fed back into the layering process.
  • At least one body delimiting the build space in at least one discharge direction of the discharging device and the build platform are vertically adjustable relative to each other according to the particular progress with which the layer body is being constructed, in such a way that a surface of the body facing the discharge opening is aligned flush with a topmost layer of the layer body which is yet to be produced or has already been produced, in order to close the discharge opening of discharging device and to prevent the discharging device from discharging free-flowing material or to discharge free-flowing material not used for layering into a collecting container when the discharge opening is located above the body.
  • An only displacement-controlled and “unintelligent” discharging device is understood to be a discharging device which travels a certain computers-controlled discharge route, for example from a starting position to a reversing position, and which discharges or permits the outflow of free-flowing material along this discharge route and through the always open discharge opening onto the build space.
  • the discharging device does not have any means of closing the discharge opening or, for instance, dosing the quantity of free-flowing material to be discharged, depending on the traveling distance.
  • the at least one body is designed to foe adjustable within a horizontal plane parallel to the build platform for the purpose of variably delimiting the build space.
  • the areal extension of the build space may then be delimited by the at least one body, in particular if one body is disposed in one discharge direction of the discharging device (e.g., the X direction) and another body is displayed in a discharge direction perpendicular thereto (e.g., the Y direction) in order to achieve a delimited build space in both directions.
  • the discharging device is preferably an “unintelligent” discharging device and only displacement-controlled with regard to a predefined discharge distance extending from a starting position at one edge of the build space to a reversing position at the opposite edge of the build space. This additionally lowers costs.
  • the reversing position may be predefined by the particular position of the at least one body, and the starting position is stationary. In this case, the coating operation is started from a stationary starting position, and the reversing position is defined as a function of the position of the at least one body on the horizontal plane.
  • the starting position may be predefined by the particular position of the at least one body, and the reversing position is stationary.
  • the coating operation is started from the at least one body and its direction is reversed at the stationary reversing position.
  • the length of the discharge route to be traveled by the discharging device and thus the extension of the build space in this direction depends on the position of the at least one body.
  • the starting position of the discharging device i.e., the place from which the discharging operation is started, is particularly preferably a filling position in which the discharging device may be filled or refilled with free-flowing material by means of a filling device.
  • the position of the filling device on a horizontal plane parallel to the build platform is therefore also dependent on the position of the body.
  • the filling device is then positioned, for example, above the discharging device.
  • the container for collecting excess material is disposed, for example, at the reversing position or at the starting position.
  • One body may then be disposed at the starting position and at least one other body may be disposed at the reversing position, means being provided in the one body or in the other body for introducing free-flowing material into the collecting container or for conducting it thereto.
  • the one body closing the discharge opening of the discharging device is then used to prevent a discharge of free-flowing material at the edge of the build space, while the purpose of the other body on the opposite edge of the build space is to introduce excess, i.e., unused, free-flowing material into the collecting container, so that it may be supplied for reuse in the layering process.
  • the at least one body is preferably a flat, plate-shaped body, for example a metal plate with or without a through-opening, depending on whether it is to prevent a discharge from the discharge opening of the discharging device or whether it is to discharge material into the collecting container.
  • the build platform is particularly preferable to design the build platform to be adjustable vertically relative to the body and discharging device and to design the body and the discharging device to be adjustable horizontally relative to the build platform, in order to flexibly adapt the build space to the particularly requirements and, in particular, to the particular molding to be constructed, while minimizing the loss of free-flowing material.
  • the invention additionally relates to a method for constructing a layer body from a plurality of superimposed layers of free-flowing material on a build platform within a build space.
  • FIG. 1 shows a top view of a device for producing moldings with different build space sizes on a build platform
  • FIGS. 2 a through 2 d show a schematic cross-sectional view of a device for producing moldings according to one preferred embodiment of the invention
  • FIGS. 3 a through 3 g show a schematic cross-sectional view of another embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of a device 13 for constructing a layer body 5 from a plurality of superimposed layers of, for example, powdered, initially loose, particulate material on a build platform 6 within a build space 11 a through 11 d.
  • Build spaces 11 a through 11 d of different sizes illustrated in FIG. 1 extend over a wide area in FIG. 1 parallel to build platform 8 in the horizontal X and Y directions, layer body 5 being constructed in the vertical Z direction, which is perpendicular to the drawing plane in FIG. 1 .
  • Device 13 comprises a discharging device 1 which is movable back and forth over build space 11 a through 11 d in at least one discharge direction, in this case, for example, in the X direction and/or the Y direction, discharging device 1 having at least one discharge opening 14 , which is not visible in this view and from which the particulate material, may be discharged in individual superimposed layers during the movement of discharging device 1 .
  • Discharging device 1 is preferably a non-switchable discharging device, i.e., without the option of turning the material flow through discharge opening 14 on and off, so that free-flowing material or particulate material may or may not flow out. Instead, particulate material continuously flows through discharge opening 14 in discharging device 1 unless discharge opening 14 is closed by means belonging to discharging device 1 or if no (more) particulate material is present in a reservoir of discharging device 1 .
  • Device 13 furthermore comprises a print head 2 which is moveable back and forth over build space 11 , for example, in the X and V directions for the selective application of binder onto at least one discharged layer in order to solidify and join together discharged layers in locally predetermined areas of build space 11 a through 11 d by the action of binders, so that at least one molding 4 is formed by the solidified and joined areas of the layers of layer body 5 in a known manner.
  • a print head 2 which is moveable back and forth over build space 11 , for example, in the X and V directions for the selective application of binder onto at least one discharged layer in order to solidify and join together discharged layers in locally predetermined areas of build space 11 a through 11 d by the action of binders, so that at least one molding 4 is formed by the solidified and joined areas of the layers of layer body 5 in a known manner.
  • print head 2 could be replaced with a radiation source if the discharged, free-flowing material already contains a binder which is then hardened by selective irradiation with the radiation source for the purpose of creating molding 4 .
  • the free-flowing material itself is fused or slightly melted by the irradiation and joined thereby.
  • the extension of build space 11 a through 11 d in the X and Y directions is predefined by the application of material to build platform 6 , different sizes of build spaces 11 a through 11 d being illustrated in FIG. 1 . If build space 11 a through 11 d is described in the illustrated orthogonal coordinate system 9 , each extension or size of build spaces 11 a through 11 d may be displayed as a rectangle, starting from origin 10 . The dimensions of build platform 6 in the X and Y directions then correspond to a maximum displayable size of one build space 11 a.
  • One rectangular side of a build space 11 of this type is generally determined, for example, by the discharge route or discharge travel of discharging device 1 in discharge direction X, so that, in the present case, the size of the build space is dependent on the length of this discharge route. Based on the example in FIG. 1 , the discharge route of discharging device 1 thus increases from 11 d to 11 a in the X direction.
  • the other rectangular side of a build space 11 a through 11 d is determined, for example, by the width of discharge opening 14 of discharging device 1 in the Y direction, which may be formed in particular, by a an elongated slot.
  • different lengths of discharge openings 14 of discharging device 1 are provided to obtain the variable-length rectangular side of build spaces 11 a through 11 d in the Y direction.
  • one layer of layer body 5 may, on the whole, be completely produced in one pass of the discharge route in the X direction.
  • the edges of build space 11 are preferably formed by printed walls 3 in the X and Y directions, i.e., the particulate material is selectively solidified here by print head 2 so that loose particulate material of layer body 5 located within the edges of build space 11 is hot able to flow off in areas outside build space 11 .
  • print head 2 suitably prints, the edge areas of each discharged layer.
  • a separate build container or separate build walls could be used to delimit build space 11 .
  • build platform 6 is preferably lowered as the height of layer body 5 increases in the Z direction, in particular using drives and guides which are not illustrated. Discharging device 1 therefore remains on its initial level for each new layer to be discharged and is therefore movable relative to build platform 6 , for example only in the X direction and/or the Y direction.
  • build platform 6 could, be designed to be stationary, and at least discharging device 1 could be designed to be movable relative to stationary build platform 6 in both the X and Y directions as well as the Z direction.
  • build platform 6 is vertically adjustable relative to, for example, two bodies 8 , 8 a delimiting the build space in discharge direction X of the discharging device according to the particular progression of construction, in such a way that surfaces of bodies Bf 8 a facing discharge opening 14 of discharging device 1 are aligned flush with a topmost layer of layer body 5 yet to be produced or already produced.
  • the purpose of the two bodies 8 , 8 a is to close discharge opening 14 of discharging device 1 and to prevent discharging device 1 from discharging free-flowing material (body 8 ) or to discharge free-flowing material that is not used for layering into a collecting container 7 (body 8 a ) when discharge opening 14 of discharging device 1 is located above particular body 8 , 8 a.
  • At least one of bodies 8 , 8 a is designed to be adjustable within a horizontal plane parallel to build platform 6 and, in particular, in the X direction, for the purpose of variably delimiting build space 11 .
  • the areal extension of build space 11 is then delimited by body 8 at least in the X direction, in particular when the position of body 8 is designed to be movable in discharge direction X of discharging device 1 .
  • Build platform 6 is therefore particularly preferably designed to be adjustable relative to bodies 8 , 8 a , discharging device 1 and print head 2 in the vertical Z direction, and body 8 , discharging device 1 and print head 2 are designed to be movable relative to build platform 6 in the horizontal X direction.
  • the position of body 8 is adjusted in the X direction in order to flexibly adapt build space 11 to the particular requirements and, in particular, to the one or more moldings 4 to be constructed, while minimizing losses of free-flowing material.
  • the two bodies 8 , 8 a are consequently always on the same level in the Z direction, in particular through attachment to or guidance on a stationary frame of device 13 , which is not illustrated herein, while build platform 6 is being lowered as the construction of layer body 5 continues to progress.
  • Bodies 8 , 8 a are preferably flat, plate-shaped bodies, for example metal plates with and without through-openings 12 , depending on whether the particular body 8 or 8 a is to prevent material from being discharged from discharge opening 14 of discharging device 1 or to permit or cause material to be discharged into collecting container 7 .

  • Body 8 a may furthermore also comprise means for conducting particulate material into collecting container 7 .
  • At least one through-opening 12 of body 8 a may be controllable, i.e., the at least one through-opening 12 may be opened or closed as a function of external electrical, pneumatic and/or mechanical control signals in order to discharge or conduct free-flowing material not used for layering from discharge opening 14 info collecting container 7 for the purpose of returning it to the layering process.
  • discharging device 1 is displacement-controlled, for example, by an electronic control unit, which is not illustrated here, with regard to a predefined discharge route in the X direction, extending from an initial, starting or idle position 14 at one edge of build space 11 to a reversing position 16 at the opposite edge of build space 11 ; i.e., in response to a starting command, it first moves from its starting or idle position 14 in the X direction to reversing position 16 , at which the direction of movement is automatically reversed, if necessary upon expiry of a certain dwell time at reversing position 16 .

  • particulate material is preferably continuously applied to build platform 6 or to a previously layered part of layer body 5 via discharge opening 14 .
  • discharging device 1 which in this case is, for example, a discharging hopper of a filling device which is not illustrated herein but is easy to picture, is preferably filled with a quantity of particulate material corresponding to a multiple of layers to be applied.
  • starting position 15 is predefined by the position of body 8 adjustable in the X direction, while reversing position 16 , at which body 8 a is located, is stationary.
  • the coating operation is started from the particular set position of body 8 , body 8 closing discharge opening 14 of discharging device 1 precisely at starting position 15 and preventing particulate material from being discharged, as is easily pictured on the basis of FIG. 2 a . Only after discharging device 1 has moved a distance from body 8 is free space the height or thickness of one layer provided below discharge opening 14 , into which particulate material may be discharged to form a single layer.
  • the following method steps are carried out in the embodiment in FIGS. 2 a through 2 d;
  • Build platform 6 is first positioned in the vertical direction relative to bodies 8 and 8 a , to discharging device 1 and to print head 2 , in such a way that the surfaces of body 8 , 8 a facing discharge opening 14 , discharge opening 14 of discharging device 1 and print head 2 are disposed higher than the current topmost layer of layer body 5 by a distance of one layer thickness.
  • discharging device 1 When discharging device 1 is located in its starting position right above body 8 , its discharge opening 14 is closed by body 8 , as is easily pictured on the basis of FIG. 2 a .
  • Print head 2 is then preferably located on the far side of opposite reversing position 16 of discharging device 1 , i.e., outside build space 11 , in order to avoid colliding later on with discharging device 1 once it has reached reversing position 16 .
  • discharging device 1 is filled with free-flowing material at starting position 15 in a quantity sufficient to produce, for example, a single layer of layer body 5 .
  • the filling device which is not illustrated herein, is then positioned, for example, above discharging device 1 .
  • the control unit then activates discharging device 1 so that it moves from starting position 15 to reversing position 16 while discharging particulate material to construct one layer. This situation is illustrated in FIG. 2 a.
  • discharge opening 14 is located right above opened through-opening 12 in body 8 a , so that any excess particulate material still remaining in discharging device 1 for producing a layer is able to flow into collecting container 7 , which is disposed, for example, below through-opening 12 in body 8 a .
  • the control unit then returns emptied discharging device 1 to its starting position 15 , whereby it is followed by print head 2 in order to provide or print binder onto a locally predetermined area of the discharged layer. Since discharging device 1 is empty during this movement, i.e., it is moved without particulate material, an unwanted application of particulate material to layer body 5 is avoided. This operation is illustrated in FIG. 2 c.
  • discharging device 1 Once discharging device 1 has reached starting position 15 , it is refilled with particulate material for one layer, and the described cycle begins all over again ( FIG. 2 d ). The cycle according to FIGS. 2 a through 2 d are repeated until the entire layer body 5 is created. Print head 2 also prints the areas that represent walls 3 of layer body 5 .
  • reversing position 16 is determined by the position of body 8 set in the X direction, and starting position 25 , where body 8 a is located, is stationary. In this case, the coating operation is started at a stationary starting position 15 , and reversing position 16 is defined depending on the position of body 8 in the X direction.
  • Build platform 6 is first positioned vertically (in the Z direction) relative to bodies 8 , 8 a , to discharging device 1 and to print head 2 , in such a way that, on the one hand, the surfaces of body 8 , 8 a facing discharge opening 14 and, on the other hand, discharge opening 14 are disposed higher than the current topmost layer of layer body 5 by a distance of one layer thickness.
  • Body 8 a which has the at least one through-opening 12 , and collecting container 7 located thereunder are positioned at starting position 15
  • body 8 which does not have a through-opening 12 of this type, is positioned at reversing position 16 .
  • discharging device 1 is filled by a filling device, which is not illustrated herein, for example in a position located a short distance from starting position 15 in the X direction, in which a part of body 8 a facing build space 11 is able to close discharge opening 14 in discharging device 1 , as shown in FIG. 3 g .
  • Discharging device 1 is filled with particulate material for producing, for example, two layers of layer body 5 .
  • Print head 2 is located in the starting position, preferable on the near side of body 8 a , so that it does not collide with discharging device 1 .
  • Discharging device 1 is then activated by the control unit in order to move from starting position 15 to reversing position 16 for the purpose of discharging particulate material in this matter to construct a layer ( FIG. 3 a ).
  • body 8 closes discharge opening 14 in discharging device 1 .
  • Print head 2 is subsequently activated by the control unit in order to print binder onto a locally determined area of the discharged layer as well as the areas that form walls 3 of layer body 5 ( FIG. 3 b ). Afterwards, print head 2 returns to its starting position.
  • build platform 6 is lowered by a distance of one layer height or one layer thickness so that the surfaces of bodies 8 and 8 a facing discharge opening 14 , discharge opening 14 of discharging device 1 and print head 2 are again disposed higher than the current topmost layer of layer body 5 by a distance of one layer thickness.
  • Discharging device 1 is then activated by the control unit in order to move from reversing position 16 back to starting position 15 while discharging particulate material for constructing another layer, as illustrated in FIG. 3 c.
  • any particulate material that is not used for the two discharged layers may flow through the at least one through-opening 12 of body 8 a into collecting container 7 ( FIG. 3 d ).
  • Print head 2 is subsequently activated so that it prints binder onto the areas of molding 4 and walls 3 of the additional discharged layer.
  • Emptied discharging device 1 may then move in front of print head 2 , as shown in FIG. 3 e.
  • discharging device 1 and print head 2 are moved back to their starting position 15 after the printing operation, build platform 6 preferably being simultaneously lowered by a distance of one layer height or one layer thickness for the purpose of making space in the vertical direction for a subsequent layering operation.
  • bodies 8 , 8 a , discharging device 1 and the print head could, of course, also be designed to be movable relative to a stationary build platform 6 in the vertical 2 direction, according to another embodiment,
